Additional spaces have also been released for our WRPF North West Qualifier due to popular demand. Held on a combo rack and power bar, with both knee sleeves or wraps as categories and the deadlift bar for deadlifts making it one of the most performance-focused meets in the WRPF UK calendar, and one of the last opportunities to Qualify for this years Nationals.
